Thank you elliej. Although your tumor was much smaller than mine, I may ask the radiologist about a shorter dose of radiation. She said it would be 16 treatments over 3.5 weeks. They didn’t do an onco score because it wasn’t needed, and no lymph biopsy either. Instead a thorough ultrasound of the lymph nodes which looked normal. It seems there is a tendency to do less treatment rather than more.
Best of luck to you on your journey.

You are so welcome. This site, Connect, has been so helpful to me on this scary journey. My treatment was at Mayo, Az. The 5 day course was such a blessing for us, as I live in NM and they got me in and out quickly. The entire dept was amazing. I didn’t have any lymph node involvement, stage 1.
Just consider all factors for your specific case. You will do whatever is best for You. Prayer is a great comfort in decision making. 😘🙏🏼
